At the Wplus9 Design Studio it is all about the creativity and having fun! Our goal is to bring you inspiring design, superior quality and infinite possibilities through the highest quality of clear photopolymer stamps. Dawn Woleslagle, owner and self taught graphic artist/designer, brings you new stamps on the first of every month. From elegant to whimsical to just a bit funky, you’re sure to find something to help fuel your creativity at The Studio.

The only thing we value more at Wplus9 than creativity and fun, is you! Come stamp away with Dawn and the rest of the Wplus9 Design Team at the Design Blog. On the 28th of every month we start previewing the upcoming release, providing samples, chat, and prizes. You can continue the fun throughout the month by joining in on monthly features and challenges, by becoming a fan on Facebook, or by uploading your personal Wplus9 creations to our Flickr Gallery.

"I live with my husband and two kids in southern Virginia. I’ve been an avid crafter my whole life, but I’ve only been obsessed with paper crafting for the last 7 years or so. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t have a crayon, marker, glue stick, ribbon, or something crafty in my hands! I could wander amongst the craft aisles all day every day, and be quite happy. With my hectic schedule, my craft time is my quiet time - so I named my blog The Quiet Moments (http://taylorusry.blogspot.com). I don't know what I'd do without my quiet time each day. It's just me, a cup of tea, and my favorite bits of crafty goodness!

I’m often asked if I have a particular style – I’d say it’s eclectic. There really isn’t much I don’t like, or anything I won’t try. I love every aspect of the creative world.

I’m honored to currently be part of several talented design teams, and am so thrilled to be a guest designer here today! "

Taylor is also a part of the design team that brings

us this week's prize for 'The Cup of the Week'...

Two Graphic Designers.

Two cardmaking, stamping, & scrapbooking enthusiasts.

Two long-time friends.

Tricia Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ulberg and Meridith Anne Ethington are the owners of Lizzie Anne Designs. As long-time cardmakers and scrapbookers, we are excited about the opportunity to utilize our art backgrounds, business backgrounds, and knowledge of the stamping/scrapbooking industry to design products for the hobby we love dearly. We believe that stamping and scrapbooking products should inspire creativity in all who use them, and this is our goal!

"I'm a HUGE rubber stamper. I have stamped for as long as I can remember- I started when I was a little girl. Over the years my style has definitely progressed. (Take a look at my older posts...I'm amazed at how much I have improved!) I'm a perfectionist and I like to think that my cards show that fact. I'm a huge fan of rhinestones, scallops, ribbons and yes, PINK.

I'm a girly girl who likes to live large, but spend thrifty...sort of. My blog captures the essence of who I am, the things I enjoy/ am interested in, and the things I am learning. In between my crafting posts, you may find mentions of the gym (I'm starting to become a junkie), movies and friends. I hope you'll come follow me on this adventure called Life."
